MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a) sponsored by new year realism setting in

[marlowuk]

Derby have had 3 shots on target - 3 goals! We've had 5 shots on target!!

[tidus_mi2]

Well, well, 3-2!

We've got Meite!

[3points]

Moore substituted. Any reason why (injury?) or tactical

[Ian Royal]

Bollocks

FFS. We are going to throw it away this season arent we

Meh. If we do, it's because we aren't ready. No reason to think we won't be stronger next season given how much better we are now than we were 12 months ago. We've just got to make sure we don't go on a long losing or winless run and nosedive like previously.

Anything at or above 10th remains very good. A bit disappointing if we can't maintain a play off place. But far from the end of the world.


Meite makes it 3-2. Damn it, I predicted 3-1.

[marlowuk]

Moore substituted. Any reason why (injury?) or tactical

He's been replaced by Samuel so I assume it's tactical! We're going all out for at least a point.

[Ian Royal]

Blimey, Stam actually feeling like he has the options to go more attacking.

Quite close to an equaliser a minute ago.

[Sutekh]

Actually have the impression the team have played a lot better than they have for quite some time and have been let down by poor refereeing and Derby getting a bit lucky.

Might be some hope v Fulham after all in a game which we will desperately need to win to maintain play off respectibility

[Ian Royal]

Ooof, just wide from a corner after Derby fans withhold the ball to timewaste.

[Ian Royal]

Obita off for a second yellow and suspended for Fulham. Silly boy.

[marlowuk]

Obita off for a second yellow and suspended for Fulham. Silly boy.

And we desperately need his pace against Fredericks for Fulham. He is dangerous!

[Ian Royal]

FT, couldn't quite get back level. Sounds like we fell apart in the middle 30 and played very well in the first and last 30.

[CountryRoyal]

Gutted. Feel so cheated, but at the end of the day for all of the incompetency of the ref and the derby cheating we, once again, only have ourselves to blame.

Much, much better than QPR, but still hurts.

[Sutekh]

Obita off for a second yellow and suspended for Fulham. Silly boy.

That is the worst news, we now have to watch Fredericks rip Blackett a new one on Tuesday. Is Zac Jules quick

[CountryRoyal]

I oxf*rd hate derby.

[Gunny Fishcake]

So much for being their bogey team, what always bugs is when we take the lead and go on to lose, shame we cant just shut up shop and go for a dirty 1-0 win. Slowing slipping to where we probably should be in the league in truth

[Hound]

A huge few weeks coming up then. Fulham is going to be tough followed by some very winnable home games against the likes of Cardiff and Brentford

Need to take the positives from this one and hopefully get at least a point on tuesday

[Davezk]

We played pretty well just unlucky

[Royalwaster]

A huge few weeks coming up then. Fulham is going to be tough followed by some very winnable home games against the likes of Cardiff and Brentford

Need to take the positives from this one and hopefully get at least a point on tuesday

Don't we always lose against Brentford though?

And Fulham

First time we've lost this season after taking the lead in the first half iirc.

Need to get a win or couple of draws in the next two games to avoid getting in a rut.
